PACE EICHT HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH. FALLS, OREGON Brownies Split Series In Boston St. Louis Heads For More Fertile Soil After Success Against Yankees, Braves By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer Luke Sewell had his St. Louis Browns past their two "crucial" eastern series today and headed for Philadelphia and Washing ton's fertile soil with a comfort able 61 game lead still intact. Baseball men had predicted the Brownies could come home with their first American league , flag "in the bag'' if they could manage a .500 pace on their fi nal visit to the Atlantic sea board. Opening in the back yard of the defending champs in the Yankee Stadium, St. Louis took three of four and moved on to Boston to divide a 4-game set. The pace was not sensational but, true to their 1944 gait, was in the consistent neighborhood ., of .600. With the Athletics and Sena tors buried in seventh and eighth places the Browns had a chance to fatten their advantage while Boston, Detroit and Jtfew York take turns knocking one another off in their own private feud. Sewell drew praise for his skill in shuffling his pitching staff which " was beginning to show serious signs of wear and tear. When Sig Jakucki was batted out for the second straight time yesterday, the Browns' boss was able to come up with capable relief work from Tex Shirley and George Caster without digging into his reservoir ofVegular starters. Caster was given the decision in the Boston finale when Vern Stephens hit a bases loaded homer to spark a rally that net ted a 6-5 win over Bed Barrett. Detroit called on Dizzy Trout "and Hal Newhouser in relief of Stubby Overmire to nose out Philadelphia in 11 innings, 3-2. It was the 19th victory for New houser, the Tigers ace southpaw, tying him with Trout for most won. New York stuck in the race by downing Chicago, 3-1, when Bill Zuber surprised with a neat three-hitter in his first start since July 22. Cleveland snap ped a 5-game losing streak but had to go 12 innings to shade Washington, 1-0,- on Ken Kelt ner's single scoring Oris Hockett. Al Smith of the Tribe and Dutch Leonard of the Nats each allow. ed four hits and went all the way. Pittsburgh rolled to its ninth straight, disposing of Boston . 7:5, on a three-run spurt in the eisiiiu wui gave Jiavier itescig no the edge over another relief er, Ira Hutchinson. Cincinnati kept pace with the Pirates in a second-place tie by whipping New York, 6-3, for the Giants eigntn successive defeat Tom Delacruz, making his last start before going home to -Cuba to join the service, hung up his fourth win at Harry Feldman's expense. St. Louis drubbed Brooklyn for the fourth straight time, fi-3 with Teddy Wilks upping his jcauing win record xo 11-1. Chi cago captured a 4-1 samo tmm the Phillies that was cut to 6 in nings by rain. Hy Vandenberg was the winner over Al Ger- ueauser. The Women Take Over , , B juw4Uk4 .. - ..-7 r v v. jb.
